Or, welcome to my low-maintenance heck.

I deal with Microsoft Office on a regular basis, thanks to my requisite "documentation" that needs to be performed at "work." So, when I read on my trusty Mac blog that Office 2008 has been updated, I immediately launched the installer to get the latest bugfixes, and hopefully get something closer to a final product.

Yeah... I probably knew I should've expected something like this:

Hmmm... You sure about that?

This error message would have been somewhat more amusing if it hadn't been generated by a program launched by the Microsoft Office Updater... Which one would imagine could be used as a clue by the installer to find out that, well, Office 2008 is installed on this computer.

Ah, the joys of watching a miserable failure of a company sink even deeper... into excellence!Update: It's just as I suspected—Microsoft seems to have some "slight" problems with the production quality of their installation packages:

Heh, it's not like I actually wanted to do anything with that silly 12.1.2 update or anything!
